Hawks vs. Mavericks predictions
The Hawks remain short with Onyeka Okongwu and Trae Young still ruled out, while the Mavericks are still without Derek Lively and Josh Green. The Hawks come into this meeting with plenty of winning momentum despite being without several key players. The Mavericks are one of the hottest teams in the league, and they come into this game fresh off a blowout loss to the Warriors. The lineup is certainly heavy in this game, but the Hawks were anything but convincing in last night's narrow win over the Pistons, so I'm going to help the Mavericks bounce back nicely at home.
